254 NEW AMERICAN ORCHARDIST. 



35. WHITE CORINTH. 



CORINTHE BLANC. Duh. and Bon Jard. 

 The bunches are small, oblong, compact; the berries 

 very small, round, yellow, juicy, sweet, and without seeds, 

 The Violet Corinthe differs from this only in color, and 

 is probably identical with the Black Corinth, Zante, or 

 Black Ascalon, known in commerce as the Zante cur- 

 rants, which we receive from the Mediterranean in a dried 

 state. It has been estimated that 6000 tons are annually 

 shipped from the Ionian Islands. 



36. MALMSEY MUSCADINE. For. Lindley. 

 MALVOISEE MUSQ.UE of Bradley. 



It resembles the White Muscadine, but the bunches and 

 berries are smaller. It is very sweet, and: of high flavor ; 

 it bears well, and is a valuable grape. It requires a vinery 

 in England so say Forsyth and Lindley. Bradley says 

 it is one of the richest musked grapes; that it came from 

 Montserrat, and grows plentifully about Turin. 



37. PITMASTON WHITE CLUSTER. Hort Trans. 

 Raised by John Williams,, Esq., of Pitmaston, from the 



seed of the Auvernaf, or Miller's Burgundy. The bunches 

 are rather larger than the Auvernat, compactly formed. It 

 ripens earlier than that variety or the Sweetwatcr. The 

 berries are round, a little flattened at the apex, of an am- 

 ber color, but bronzed with russet next the sun ; the flesh 

 is tender and pleasant. 



38. SCOTCH WHITE CLUSTER. Thorn, Rivers, 

 The bunches are compact ; berries roundish oval ; of a 



white color ; of a sweet and excellent flavor. This grape 

 is very early, very hardy, and productive.
